Learn how to serve up delicious, decadent recipes for foodies with limited budgets from the author of Poor Girl Gourmet, Amy McCoy, on Monday, August 30 at 6:30 PM at Portsmouth Free Public Library. As a successful freelance producer for network and cable television, Amy McCoy once enjoyed gourmet food with little concern for price. Then the recession hit and the freelance work all but disappeared. But in the economic downturn, McCoy found her mission: to eat the best food she and her husband could while spending as little as possible.
In addition to delectable recipes, McCoy's book offers money-saving strategies and recipes for at least four people so it's perfect for families on a budget – because eating well while saving money is something that appeals to all of us. Poor Girl Gourmet will be available for purchase and signing.
This program is free and open to the public. Seating is limited so please stop by or call the Library at 683-9457 to sign up.
